Does anyone else cringe a bit when the topic of point spreads comes up in reference to a college– or pro– football game? It taints the proceedings, in my mind, opens the door on shady dealings, and the possibility of thrown contests.
There’s too much at stake anymore to think that the cloud of wagering doesn’t hang over just about any sporting event, particularly big NCAAF playoff games. It just leaves a bad taste, and potential asterisks.
